Rasputin of the East

Seoul Plaza, a landmark and political center of Seoul, is famous for its size.

First, to enter the main gate, you must enter the ‘Gate of Liberation’, which serves as the main gate of Seoul Plaza.

When you pass the Gate of Liberation, designed as a combination of the Arc de Triomphe and Brandenburg Gate in Paris, you will find the Prime Minister’s Office on the left, the Presidential Residence on the right, and the large and beautiful Seoul Complex Administrative Office in front.

In a way, it also showed the characteristics of a country called Korea.

Neither the prime minister nor the president have full power, but they are compatible, and it is the technocrats and technocrats who actually move this country.

Of course, these buildings are not connected, so you can enter into Rhodo Square – even though these are at least four-lane roads with sidewalks – even though they are side roads between the high walls of government offices and other annexes, but it is as if these successive buildings are one giant. Feeling like a wall is unavoidable.

And there stood a woman who was heavily armed with sunglasses and a hat.

“This is Korea, his hometown.”

“Yes? Who are you talking about…”

“The great emperor, not the emperor, the heirloom, not the hegemon.”

“Oh, of course, that’s his hometown. Exactly where he came from is still a matter of debate…”

“Anyway, it’s Korea.”

If so, there is a high probability that you will be in Korea.

‘There is a different feeling from Minsk and Warsaw.’

“Would you like to go straight to the embassy? if not…..”

“Okay, I came here unofficially, and I came on a tourist visa, not a diplomatic visa.

“All right.”

The woman who spoke briefly to the attendant lit up the eyes hidden in her sunglasses.

The Korean government’s New Year’s address was playing from the huge advertising screen that was attached to a huge skyscraper beyond the plaza, but still visible.

She laughed quietly as she watched the national anthem played along with the sunrise scene filmed on a fortress island, the easternmost territory of Korea.

“That’s great.”

Originally a small volcanic island, a lonely island in Korea’s easternmost territory, which was classified as a reef because human habitation was impossible under international law, was remodeled during the Cold War.

The purpose is, of course, to check the activities of the East Sea of Japan and the U.S. Navy in the East Sea. During peacetime, control the surrounding area, and during wartime, control all directions with anti-aircraft and surface-to-surface radars, and use anti-ship missiles, coastal artillery and anti-aircraft missiles as much as possible. We needed a base with a mission to deliver to the enemy fleet, and the island was chosen.

All the granites judged to be unsuitable in terms of shape were cut out, concrete was poured over the remaining granite, large-caliber, multiple coastal guns were mounted on the main turrets, heavy army guns were used as secondary guns, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, etc. It had a shape and firepower similar to that of a WWII battleship.

Later, when the Russian army withdrew and the South Korean army took over the management, it was extensively opened and maintained as the forefront of Korea’s Far East, installing hundreds of anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, surface-to-air missiles, helipads, and even runways. After reunification and the end of the Cold War, the South Korean side questioned whether there was any reason for this ‘battleship’ to remain in combat posture.

However, technological advances saved this fortress. A new long-range rocket with a range of up to 76 km, and a rocket auxiliary projectile with a range of 185 km and even a 740 km scramjet shell were developed, which could be put into the range as far as Tokyo. He strongly opposed abandoning the fortress that could use this type of equipment.

In the end, the Korean government granted the navy’s hand in relation to the issue of reunification of Japan that just happened, and the easternmost territory of Korea remained silently oriented toward the southeast.

Anyway, the Korean government’s New Year’s address always started with the first sunrise of the new year, taken from the eastern fortress.

As she listened to the New Year’s address—even though she doesn’t actually speak Korean— she sighed.

It was clearly felt that the world was moving again.

Did I say that people who want to live quietly should not be born in the 20th century? In her sense, the 21st century was more eventful than the 20th century.

99% revolt against 1%.

A road that is sweetly heard by many people living under the capitalist system, but has not failed every time.

yes it failed

Germany was destroyed by war, South China was destroyed by nuclear weapons, Japan was crushed by the US forcibly suppressed, and the Indian Communist Party had been in power for quite some time, but many communist intellectuals condemned India as a revisionist lair. If you think about it, it was difficult to see it as a proper communist country.

Well, it was a clear communist achievement that completely erased the religious colors and completely ousted the class system, but after that, they continued to shovel. The communist party survived in India, where economic and military errors such as breaking in the border dispute with Tibet and the people were driven to the brink of expelling the communist party were won by fighting an all-out war when the territorial dispute with the Indochina Federation developed into an armed conflict. It was because of the

And the military forces pushed strong self-reform within the Communist Party, and there were many changes such as the introduction of a multi-party system by changing the political system to a Western style.

In any case, a truly decent communist state has never been established from the standpoint of the communists. Anarchism, libertarianism, anarchism, etc. have also appeared in the CIS, but it is a collapsed country, and the level of social democracy that is the least active among left-wing groups is socialism, and the world’s superpowers are terrified of socialism. Even so, they mercilessly trampled on the U.S. and Russian forces throughout the Cold War. Even if it’s a foreign country.

When socialist forces appear in other countries, at first they put pressure on the government of that country to destroy them by any means possible. If the government rejected it, or rather accepted socialism, it was stifled, from blockades to military attacks.

Well, in fact, it is only because socialism occupies the largest stake, and the ‘risk ideology’ agreed upon by the US and Russia was all treated like that. In addition to socialism, religious extremism and other ideologies were mainly registered, and they were treated almost like saboteurs, sending assassins to remove key figures, deleting those records, and even censoring them on communication networks. Not only Russia, but even the United States did this during the Cold War. Not only did they censor their own countries, they also censor their allies.

So I literally couldn’t breathe.

Even ecologists were on the borderline between the legal and the illegal and were oppressed when bored.

Moreover, the surveillance system combined with advanced technology was casting an invisible shadow behind everyone’s back. Through this surveillance system, crimes have been substantially reduced, such as quickly identifying crimes, keeping an eye on those who are trying to commit crimes, and then arresting them when they are about to commit crimes.

Obviously, freedom of expression is guaranteed, but even knowing that every word you say is being recorded and being recorded, of course, even if you know that it will not be a problem, it is inevitable that you will be careful not to get caught. .

Of course, the protests of infringement of liberty or protection of privacy did not work. Their monitoring was justified for reasons such as recording, recording, and recording anyway, humans do not see it unless there is a problem, and that machines cannot be legally subject to invasion of privacy. Moreover, when they start oppression on the basis of expression, it is a violation of freedom of expression, but no action is taken.

So they are oppressed, trampled on, underground and infiltrated, and the public authorities take over the underground organization.

Although they were thoroughly suppressed, the idea itself was not eradicated. As long as the global circumstances in which the ideas came out did not change, their ideas would not disappear completely, even if they were transformed or appeared in other forms.

Beyond the border, there were plenty of unexplored areas beyond the reach of the watchers, and those who hid in the depths became a point organization to survive, and at the same time united.

to further systematize, materialize, and discuss their ideas.

If they recklessly push them away because they have a different opinion, they all die together, so they are even more tightly bound.

And, countries knew this.

In superpowers such as the United States and Russia, and in other European and Asian powerhouses, they could not set foot, but those who avoided it and went to Indochina, South America, and the Commonwealth of Independent States dreamed of a revolution.

The alternative was rocking again.

And, knowing the situation, she could only sigh.

“Whether it’s the 20th or the 21st century, would it have been better for the world to really fall apart in 1999 or 2012?”

No one was listening, but she grumbled.

“Nothing has changed.”

Shandong Republic, Qingdao.

The Republic of Shandong is a very complex country.

In the midst of three civil wars, even one PMC went to the brink of overturning the country, and despite the pressure of the Russian Empire that cares about the control of the West Sea, it is still maintaining its national shape, except for the navy stationed by Russia, which guarantees independence. The Cooper Corporation Pribate Security Company (CCPSC) forces contracted with the government of the Republic of Shandong are the country’s only military force.

There were several factories there, and the financial industry was also developed in a peculiar way, in that they did not hand over customer information to anyone except the person concerned under any circumstances. Created by the Cooper Corporation by moving the Republic of Shandong to amend laws, it is one of the few tax havens created after the fall of Switzerland by German forces and the disappearance of the concept of a Swiss bank after all deposits in Swiss banks were looted by the German Empire and used to fund war. it was

The Cooper Corporation behind them, a decades-old company, was once a powerful military-industrial complex that swept up arms supply contracts for the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force. In addition, starting with the signing of various contracts with the Republic of Shandong devastated by civil war after all kinds of events, such as jumping into the PMC business and transferring management rights to a large financial capital in Europe, he served as a proxy for military and security affairs, or rented land at a low price. It was closely attached in such a way that it was paid for and built a factory.

No, this was not a close contact, it was like the whole country being swayed by one multinational corporation. The republic was in a situation where there was nothing to say even if it was called a corporate state.

It meant quite a bit that such a meeting was taking place in such a place, the heart of capitalism.

“comrade.”

“Are you okay?”

“If you can’t avoid the eyes of the idiots of the Commonwealth of South America, you can’t have a revolution.”

They shook hands and sat down.

“Let’s start the Sorell meeting.”

Another name is Syndicalism Conference.

Of course, they were united around syndicalism, but they were actually united by one thing in common.

It means that you are determined to turn this world upside down.

Just like someone 100 years ago did.
